Stuff to mention, delayed too long:

Movies:

• I saw Paradise Now with Dan on Monday. That was pretty good.
• I saw Advent Children again with Dan, Markos, and Noah yesterday.
• My sister, Mel, checked Dungeons & Dragons out of the library, and we watched that today. The movie has has nothing to do with the game (a more accurate title would be Generic Fantasy Setting: The Movie), and it crosses the line from bad over to hilarious. This effect is amplified by the fact that the movie's plot is totally Star Wars (and I mean the bad movies): Emperor Palpatine Profion tries to gain control of the clone army red dragons so he can rule the universe kingdom. To achieve this goal, he tries to manipulate the galactic senate mage's council into negating Queen Amidala's Empress Savina's power by imposing a blockade taking away her staff of power. (Queen Amidala Empress Savina pleads for their support, but this just plays into the hands of her enemy.) The bad guy's main enemies are a white boi "chosen one" and a annoying alien black guy as the comic relief sidekick. The movie culminates in an epic clash of starships dragons and lightsabers magic swords. (Advantages of this movie over Star Wars: Annakin wins, and Jar-Jar Binks dies.)

Food:

• I was in the store today before lunch. I bought a tin of anchovies on impulse (or got my mom to buy them, anyways) and ate them with lunch. Why I had a sudden craving for anchovies, I have no idea. They're pretty close to the bottom of the list of foods I'm willing to eat.
• Golden Cheshire cheese is really good.
• I had a dentist appointment today. Heading home from Shaker Square, I bought an ice cream cone at East Coast Frozen Custard. I ate it as I walked home in the blowing snow.

Links:

• Pandora is a pretty cool internet radio service. It uses the Music Genome Project to make music recommendations.
• Last.fm does the same thing with social software and data collected through AudioScrobbler.
• How to Write Unmaintainable Code. As a programmer, I found it hilarious, but it's enough to make anyone's head explode.
• Book-A-Minute. For those who don't have the time for Cliff's Notes. T3h funn3h.

Plus, Mel broke my headphones, so I'm now headphoneless again. I go through those things far too fast...

Anchovies. Yum. *pukes*

How'd Mel break your headphones?

I'm going to ask you the same question I asked Emily: What is the HTML code for a strikethrough?
Please, please do not USE the code in the response; otherwise, I can't SEE the coding.

She was just fiddling with them.

<s>text</s> becomes text.

I aquire stange favorite foods and get my mom to buy them whenever we go to tops. I'm happy because we get my anchovies; My mom's happy because it's not candy. My sister's unhappy because I like to disect them, boil the bones, and leave the skin under the microscope for days!

The tin I got was just fillets, wrapped around capers.

Ummm. It's acquire; strange; you don't capitalize a common noun after a semicolon; dissect; but at least you can use 'it's' and 'its' correctly!

Apart from my linguistic and grammatical nitpicking, you're weird. Very.
